JFG Nation, here’s what has been going wrong in my life lately:

1) I wrote black shoes with a brown belt the other day. THE HORROR.

2) I just had three great days of Lay’s Do Us A Flavor chip reviews, right? Well, that has ended BECAUSE MY LOCAL WALMART DIDN’T HAVE ANY NEW YORK REUBEN POTATO CHIPS FOR SALE. I asked an employee who was stocking the chips, and she commented, “Oh yeah, for some reason, they didn’t send us those yet.” FRITO LAY WTF. Maybe they’ll have them this weekend, but I wanted to nosh them NOW WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH (commence baby tantrum).

3) I screwed something up in my uploading for today, so I have no pics for today’s post. If the photo below looks familiar, it’s because I nicked it from my Instagram. Sigh.

Ok, so these aren’t REAL problems…just wanted to vent. Meanwhile:

Today’s junk food: Quaker Chewy Girl Scouts Thin Mints Granola Bars!!

Quaker Chewy Girl Scouts Thin Mints Granola Bars: The Money Shot

UPDATE: New pictures, FINALLY!

Quaker Chewy Girl Scouts Thin Mints Granola Bars: The Money Shot

Quaker Chewy Girl Scouts Thin Mints Granola Bars! Man, Girl Scout flavors are EVERYWHERE. Ice cream, Crunch bars, and now…granola bars? Color me skeptical. I get the branding – it certainly drew me in – but from the look on the box, it’s not like the granola is chocolate granola or anything.

After work, I’m going to upload more pics so you can see what I’m talking about, but basically these granola bars are TINY. Like, maybe 1″ by 4″. I was wondering how each bar only had 100 calories…it’s because there isn’t much food per bar! The granola was held together by lots of syrup, but the overall bar was soft (hence the CHEWY category) – which meant that little granola crumbles kept falling off. It also meant that when I bit into the bar, the part remaining in my hand started to crumble too. Not awesome.

Flavor wise? I mean…this was basically a granola bar with a bit of chocolate mint flavor. It definitely tasted like chocolate mint, and the flavor was decently strong, but this was one of those times where the term THIN MINT was just slapped on there for brand value only…which, I guess, was a surprised to no one. Yes, these were chocolate mint, but there was nothing outstandingly THIN MINT-y about these, and I would not buy them again, even if, sure, I could down several of these at once.

Verdict: Pass on by.

PURCHASED AT: Target, Germantown, MD

COST: $2.50
